Manchester United finally managed to get themselves back on track with Saturday’s late victory at Brentford and there now seems to be plenty going on behind the scenes at Old Trafford
Wayne Rooney’s Potential Return:
Manchester United‘s legendary striker, Wayne Rooney, is inching closer to making a return to English football. After departing MLS club DC United, reports suggest that he is on the verge of taking over as the manager of Championship side Birmingham City, where he would replace John Eustace.

Rooney is expected to bring former colleagues Ashley Cole and John O’Shea as part of his backroom team. It’s worth noting that Rooney’s previous managerial role was at Derby County, which ended with the club’s relegation to League One.
Concerns Over Andre Onana:
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has voiced concerns regarding the trust placed in Andre Onana. The Cameroonian goalkeeper has made a series of errors since his transfer from Inter Milan, with his latest blunder occurring in the recent victory against Brentford.

Schmeichel believes that Onana needs to handle mistakes differently, setting them aside to focus on the next moment. These mistakes have raised questions about Onana’s reliability among the team.
Speaking to Premier League Productions, he said: “I’m trying to speak to him about what it’s like being at Manchester United and why whatever [mistakes] you’ve made, you have to put it in a box and put it to the side. If you make a mistake in the game, it might be a mistake we can see, it might be a mistake that we don’t see.
“But you wait to think about it and analyse it after the game or at night or whatever. You have to be there for the next moment. If you’re not, you’ll make the next mistake. And now he’s upset the whole team. They will now not trust him even more, and my god, it’s not good.”
Potential New Role for Scott McTominay:
Coach Ten Hag needs to arrange a new game for Scott McTominay
Following Scott McTominay’s match-winning performance against Brentford, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is contemplating a new attacking role for the midfielder.
McTominay’s versatility and ability to impact both penalty boxes make him a valuable asset, prompting Ten Hag to explore innovative ways to utilize his talents.
Manchester United narrowly avoided making an unwanted historical record by securing a late comeback victory against Brentford at Old Trafford. This win provides a positive note as the team enters the international break.
